Back To School With Apple And Sales Tax Holiday's

Apple has launched an updated information page on its website along with a corresponding email with details on how consumers can take advantage of back to school savings.

The idea behind this years mega savings announcement is a push for tax free back to school savings on both Mac’s and iOS devices beginning next month.

During the up-coming promotional period, which is set to vary on a state-by-state bases, Apple will automatically be lowering the sales tax charges made both in-stores and online.

Some of the products benefiting from the sales cuts include, iPhones, iPads and Macs with the tax holidays occurring in the following states:

Alabama

Florida

Georgia

Louisiana

Massachusetts

Missouri

New Mexico

South Carolina

Tennessee

Most accessories for the Back To School tax free devices will also benefit from the promotion including both mice and keyboards when purchased alongside a computer, with Applecare and educational software included in the bundles.

It should be noted that most states place a cap on the portion of each purchase that is exempt from sales tax — the limit is set at $750 in Alabama and Florida, $1,000 in Georgia and New Mexico, $1,500 in Tennessee, $2,500 in Massachusetts, and $3,500 in Missouri. There is no such cap in South Carolina.

he sales tax holiday period runs from Aug. 1 to Aug. 3 in every state but Georgia — where it ends on Aug. 2 — and Massachusetts, where it has yet to be set by the legislature for 2014
